Updated Commissar.

Unfortunately as with many FW miniatures this one had a fair number of casting errors. I fixed many of them but it still an ongoing process. So far I like the guy; it is moving along quite nicely

I am going to create several albums here with my wife’s drawings. Her favorite media is ink-drawing and watercoloring. Coincidentally both are  the most difficult to digitize but I’ll do my best. This album will be one of the two dedicated to the Hoggy Hedgehog project.  

Hoggy the Hedgehog ...

Another attempt at black. This time it is reall black (meaning not black at all :). I started with VMC Dark Grey shaded it with VMC German grey, shaded it more with 1:1 VMC German Grey: VGC Hexed Lichen, washed it over with very dilute VGC Hexed Lichen.

Highlighted with 1:1 VMC German Grey:London Grey, highlighted it more with diluted electric blue. Some random green and brown washes were applied. Here is the result of this... In general I like the way it goes so far but taking this picture really helped me to pinpoint what is wrong with this models. Reflection distribution is wrong. Will deal with it today-tomorrow ...

 

I consider it done. I might return later on to do some light touch ups and corrections depending on feedback I might receive. Added base, which required substantial amount of conversion - one of these snotlings doesn't exist it had to be repositioned and arms had to be altered.  The leg that has not highlighted and chipped all over is the one Mek is stepping on so I ignored it.  Comments, suggestions and criticism are welcomed as always...

It’s been awhile. To the point that some people inquired whether I am still alive – apparently there are some regular readersJ. Life of late was rather intense. Just got an e-mail from my boss saying that “the week from hell is over”. It’s been actually longer then a week but yesterday was the first day when I had more then 6 hours of sleep in a while....
